As it was explained to me by an FFL/SOT who transfers a huge number of suppressors: In my opinion, the problem was that the ATF capriciously changed their stance on braces and it would awkward to suddenly require a Form 4/SBR for a pistol brace and then fail to process anything in a reasonable...

I used to neck down .300 Wby brass for mine, but then the necks will need to be turned to get the thickness down where it should be. ETA: I used a 7-300 neck die as an intermediate step down.

The ATF is having trouble right now accepting eForms with name suffixes ("cadences") like Jr, Sr, etc.. I've been trying to submit eF4s on two devices for 8 or 10 days now and the software won't take them. SilencerShop has a notice that appears when I go to 'My Account'. Still up as of now:

I've shot quite a few farm/barn pigeons and used to shoot them in a big factory at night by the feed sack full. After shooting literally hundreds, I prefer a 5mm or .22 air rifle due to the way the .177 pellets zip right through the bird. I have an RWS/Diana .177 that shoots about 950 fps and...

I submitted an individual eF4 on 4-24 and it was approved 4-28. Four days.

The smoke from the burning barrel steel would choke out the shooter.

Thank you kind sir!

I stripped one of those rascals once with sandpaper. Took 4 years.

LOL, at 67, I feel a huge amount of sympathy for anyone feeling "old" at the OP's age. Keith Richards scoffs...

I'm having a re-barrel done by a well-regarded benchrest gunsmith that holds a few records of his own. He asked "I usually do an 11 degree crown, is that OK?". I said "Sure." and that was that. BTW: How do I get that "degree" symbol on my computer that I see some of you fancy fellas using?

This begs the question: How fast can you run them before they slide past the rifling and lose what precision they might have?

LOL, H-870, but yes.

Don't know what the point blank range was, but my 6.5-300 WWH only required 19 MOA to go from a 100 yard zero to dial on at 1,000.
